Posted on: Tuesday, 18 October 2005, 15:00 CDT

US Modular (www.usmodular.com), a leading designer and manufacturer of personal memory and storage products, today announced that the company's award-winning Dragon Drive now comes with more firepower, a huge 120-gigabyte of storage space. The new 120-gigabyte drive has won the coveted Editor's Choice award in several magazines and is on the market for $399.

The BUS-powered portable external storage drive system is offered in massive sizes of 20-gigabyte to 100-gigabytes and comes in a stainless steel package. Dragon Drives are some of the tiniest portable auto-detectable combo (USB 2.0 + FireWire) hard drives (2.5" form factor) on the market today. Less than an inch high, these ultra-slim high-performance hard drives are the ideal storage solution for palm-tops, notebooks or desktop PCs - at home, in the office or anywhere in between. Unique in that they require no messy AC power cords (they are 100-percent powered through the two included USB 2.0 cables or FireWire cable), the Dragon Drives maintain a sleek footprint making them the perfect laptop or desktop companion. With both Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and FireWire connections, set-up is a snap and data transfer is blazing fast.
